1940s Illustrated Career Retrospective of Frankie Irish – Hand-Drawn Advertising

Description: This remarkable, one-of-a-kind art piece commemorates the career of Frankie Irish, who worked extensively in advertising from the 1930s through the 1940s. Created as a retirement gift, this framed artwork illustrates major milestones in Frankie’s career, featuring significant dates such as: •April 1928: Began as Assistant Librarian •October 1932: Worked for Beech-Nut •1941: Contributions during the wartime effort •1944: Career with NBC and iconic brand work, including Ritz Crackers The artwork is framed and signed by Frankie’s colleagues and friends, likely from his advertising agency or work in corporate branding. The detailed illustrations highlight important projects, including notable brands such as Bon Ami and Beech-Nut, as well as his work through WWII on various advertising campaigns across the USA, Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. Each illustration is accompanied by a small handwritten note or a humorous scene, capturing moments of a dynamic career. Features: •Hand-drawn illustrations with notable brands and projects •Signed by over 50 colleagues and friends in the advertising field •Personalized notes marking key milestones in Frankie’s career •Hints of WWII-era contributions to the war effort through branding and production •A true piece of corporate advertising history, likely created by artists in the advertising or publishing industries Condition: •Very good vintage condition, with minimal aging and a well-preserved frame •Some light wear consistent with age, adding to its authenticity and charm This type of commemorative art was a common tradition in mid-20th century corporate America, where colleagues would present retiring employees with custom-made illustrated timelines to celebrate their achievements. This practice has largely fallen out of favor, making this piece a rare and historically valuable artifact. Welcome to Saturday Mornings Vintage, trusted source for a wide range of collectibles!
